Broadcast sow and thin to 45 cm apart. Grows to about 60cm.
Harvest 30 -45 days
A half-hardy herb with feathery leaves. .
Grows more reliably from seeds as coriander is liable to bolt to flower and seed when seedlings are transplanted.

Coriander is frost tender but it doesn't like extreme heat. So in temperate zones grow coriander during summer, in sub-tropical/tropical zones grow it during the cooler season.

Needs a sunny spot and mulch to prevent drying out. Keep very well watered. If they dry out, then they will bolt to seed. Plant in successions (planting new seed every few weeks) to get a continuous supply.

Culinary hints - cooking and eating Coriander

Use the leaves to flavour hot meals or add fresh to salads.
The seeds can be dried and ground up for curries.

But andy
Youre not suggesting that growing coriander from seed makes it less likely to bolt, are you?
Yes...i agree..im finding it best to avoid growing it here in Wollongong as weather gets warm bc it bolts to seed very quickly.....and yes ive grown the sawtooth before...its not as nice. ...and much more chewy and tough....but it hives the fkavohr...just not the volume that normsl coriander does....mmmm....should try and get some to plant in october

Coriander should grow easily in a pot. Use a good potting mix and ensure that the mix drains well so that the plant is not sitting in water. It is always a challenge keeping the water up to plants in pots especially if they are in a sunny spot.
